TC1232CPA Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The TC1232CPA from Microchip Technology is an integrated processor supervisor IC. It provides essential functions for safeguarding processor operation, including precision power on/off Reset control and an adjustable watchdog timer.

 

Key features include an adjustable voltage monitor with options for +4.5V or +4.75V, and a minimum reset pulse width of 250 ms to ensure stable system start-up. The watchdog timer can be set to 150 ms, 600 ms, or 1.2 seconds, monitoring the microprocessor's sanity by requiring a periodic signal. If the signal is not received within the selected timeout period, the TC1232CPA issues a processor reset.

 

This device operates within a voltage range of 4.0V to 5.5V. It also includes a debounced manual reset input for external override. The TC1232CPA is available in a space-saving 8-Pin PDIP package and requires no external components for its operation.

 

Applications for the TC1232CPA include systems requiring reliable processor supervision, such as embedded systems, microcontrollers, and industrial control units where maintaining system stability during power fluctuations or processor hangs is critical.
